What else can I help you with?
Who came up with the theory of plates tectonics?
J.T Wilson was the one who came up with the theory of plate tectonics. Harry Hess came up with the theory of sea-floor spreading. Alfred Wegener came up with the theory of continental drift and Arthur Holmes proposed a suitable mechanism for this to occur (mantle convection).
How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?
But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
What is the name of the scientist that came up with the theory of plate tectonic?
Alfred Wegener is the scientist credited with proposing the theory of plate tectonics in 1912, although his ideas were not widely accepted until later.
What are tectonics?
Plate tectonics is the study of the large tectonic plates which float on the lithosphere, making up our crust.
What layer of Earth makes up plate tectonics?
The crust
Who is the author of Plate Tectonics the book?
Naomi Oreskes is the editor of a 2001 book of essays titled Plate Tectonics: An Insider's History of the Modern Theory of the Earth.There are many other books with the title "Plate Tectonics". If this isn't the one you meant, speak up!
What part of the earth is considered to be broken up into plate tectonics?
Core
What is the force that broke up the super continent?
It is known as Plate Tectonics.
How many plate tectonics is earth broken up into that float?
7
When were plateaus discovered?
Plate Tectonics is a theory which was originally invented by the German geologist Alfred Wegener in the 1930s.Sorry but this is wrong, Alfred wegener came up with the theory of continental drift. JT Wilson came up with plate tectonics.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
Which layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics?
The lithosphere layer of the Earth is made up of plate tectonics. This layer consists of the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle and is broken into several large and small plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, creating the movement of plate tectonics.
